Our family is also doing our best to limit the use of plastic products, starting from food storage in glass containers or ECI/stainless pans, using natural hair dish brushes, buying paper bags when forgetting our multi-use bags, using hardly any plastic foils, buying food and drinks in glass where possible etc. We are recycling the plastics we do use and can. But the plastics are everywhere, and seemingly in our food indeed as well.
Essentially all meats are packed in plastic at the meat sections in our stores. If we go to the “butcher” on the same supermarkets meat/fish counter, it will likely be packed in paper, but its lined with BPA perhaps a smaller footprint though like that. I guess we could go to a real butchery and buy all our meat there and ask them to put it in the Pyrex with us, but we don’t have a butchery close enough that I would do so. I’m not ready to do such thing in the local supermarkets to be honest right now and I’m not sure if things will ever evolve towards solutions like that in order to reduce plastic usage, but it could be doable I guess if enforced by governments.
We do what we “can”, but everyone probably can do a bit more. I for one will now stop buying chewing gum
